Hornet Swarm line weight

Recommended Posts

Kinda new but have not run into this before.---------Bought a Hornet Swarm 4000(mono20/100, braid 30/135) trying to put it on a Thora 9 6 Line wght 6 - 21----- NOW THE Question When I put on Braid 20(.009) or Floro 20 (.016) I get the message that line is to strong for reel and risk of damage. What am I missing mono20 = .016 same dia as Floro and the reel says it is rated for braid 30 but won't take the braid 20 (dia .009) Doesn't line Daimater smaller than Capacity work?

Not sure, I have never tried to equip line stronger than the Max Drag specification regardless of type. I have not done the reel break challenge which is the only time I would equip stronger line (40 lbs on a 2.75 Max Drag reel).
